Synchronicity in the New Age and New Energy of 2012

The World Wide Web, one manifestation of our collective consciousness, or group mind

Synchronicity and the New Age

What is synchronicity and why do people talk about it?

The concept of synchronicity was first described in this terminology by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s.

Carl Jung believed in the concept of a ‘collective consciousness’, putting forward to that synchronicity is the tip of an iceberg, that is, synchronistic events are the result of underlying patterns in a group network of consciousness which ties us all together.

Pretty revolutionary New Age thinking from a psychologist in the 1920s!

How can I become more aware of Synchronicity?

In my opinion, to get in tune with synchronicity, it’s a question of learning to notice patternsas they occur. Here’s a simple example.

Yesterday morning, as is usual, my alarm went off before my husbands did (I play Doreen Virtue’s Chakra Clearing (Book & CD) in the morning, much to my husbands chagrin!). I switched it off and stayed abed a little longer.

My husband’s clock alarm came on and he switched it off, too. (It snoozes for 10 minutes). Then, half-asleep, I started thinking about an episode of American Idol I had been watching with the children a few days before, when a young woman about to become divorced (and with small children) sang a great rendition of ‘You’re No Good’ and made it to Hollywood week.

Noticing synchronistic events can be a sign of opening to the concept of a grid, lattice, or energy system that connects us all

Then my husband’s radio alarm clock switched on, played one chord and went silent. The DJ said “And that was You’re No Good by Linda Rondstadt”. Up until that point I didn’t even know that she sang that song originally!

So…I could dismiss it as coincidence and not synchronicity, but after this many years on my spiritual journey I know better.

Half-asleep, I was ‘tuned in’ to group consciousness and picked up on the song while it was playing on the radio, and I was snoozing…by virtue of a thought!

This is just one way that group consciousness or the collective consciousness is making itself known in the New Age of Enlightenment.

Some simple ways to become more aware of Synchronicity – it’s one of the keys to shifting awareness

Do your best to stay in the moment

Notice events that connect to each other – e.g. “I was just thinking of that person and then they called me” – that is a sure sign of synchronicity

Be open to the fact that synchronicity is the tip of the iceberg and one of the keys to connecting further to group mind or Unity Consciousness

Start to think about connecting to a higher consciousness or widening your perspective on any given subject when something grabs your attention

Notice the ‘law of three’. When I have somebody mention a subject, book or person three times in fairly quick succession, like a few days or a week (it’s been a day, sometimes) then I believe that I need to learn more about that subject, book or person – the collective consciousness is answering a vibrational question I have.

Synchronicity – some light reading

Quite a few years ago now James Redfield bought out a series of books about spiritual ‘insights’ – ways to move forward on your spiritual journey and become more self-aware.

The first one is called The Celestine Prophecy and synchronicity is one of the first insights discussed in this book, further books and a movie have followed.

The Celestine Prophecy is an easy read if you’re interested in noticing more about what you notice.

Oh – and once you’ve read something about synchronicity, you’ll start noticing it. It’s just the way it works!

Oh my goodness!! I was at the Farmer’s Market on Superbowl Sunday, Feb 5, and a band was in a tent playing, “You’re No Good,” by Linda Ronstadt. The singer was a middle-aged blond woman with a fantastic voice – she sounded amazing. The song stuck in my head and I hummed it to myself the rest of the day. How funny – I guess we are all tuned into group consciousness, whether we know it or not! Love it.

Hi Sarah. I have been thinking about synchronicity a lot hese past few days. A few days ago I learned that my great great great grandmother (I think it’s three greats, maybe four) was nanny to J.P. Morgan’s children. Ever since then I keep hearing about J.P. Morgan: on Coast to Coast, on TV – almost every day since that name has come up.

Also, this weekend while driving my son to art therapy a blog post wrote itself in my head. It is about how someone saved my life at age fourteen and sixteen years later I saved someone else. These two incidents had pretty much receded into the deep recesses my memory bank over the years…..but suddenly they seemed connected….if I had slid down that mountain I may not have been around to save this other person years later.
